MEMORANDUM OPINION
On May 21, 2010, Relator, Brian K. McPherson, filed two petitions for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann § 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1.
This Court's mandamus jurisdiction is governed by Section 22.221 of the Texas Government Code. Section 22.221 expressly limits the mandamus jurisdiction of the courts of appeals to: (1) writs against a district court judge or county court judge in the court of appeals' district, and (2) all writs necessary to enforce the court of appeals' jurisdiction. Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221. Because the petitions for writ of mandamus are directed toward a district court outside of this court's district and it is not necessary to enforce this court's jurisdiction, we have no jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(b)(1).
Accordingly, the petitions for writ of mandamus are ordered dismissed.
